2005 LINCOLN LS Complaints

LINCOLN LS '05 WITH EAGLE GT HR 225/55 16, NUMEROUS FLAT TIRES ON ALL 4, SOME TIRES AS MANY AS THREE NAILS OR SCREWS. STEEL BELTS UNABLE TO RESIST PUNCTURE. ALL FILLED WITH SLIME NOW. LOTS OF TREAD LEFT. -WON'T BALANCE, SHUDDERS AT 70MPH. -PULLS TO THE LEFT. TRIED ALIGNMENTS AND SWAPPING TIRES AND WHEELS ALL AROUND. NO CHANGE. *TR

DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLES WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WENT INTO A REDUCED RPM MODE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL POWER AND GO FROM 55 TO 10 MPH RAPIDLY. PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULLED OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. NOT WANTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF I DROVE SLOWLY TO A MECHANIC WHERE HE RAN A CODE CHECK AND THE CODES READ P2107 AND P2110. TOLD IT COULD BE ONE OF 2 PROBLEMS, THROTTLE BODY OR PCM. WE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR BEGAN AFTER ABOUT A WEEK TO DO THE SAME THING ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ABOUT A 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED HOWEVER THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO APPEARED AND WOULD NOT CLEAR WITH A RESTART. SAME CODES APPEARED P2107 AND P2110. NEXT REPLACED THE PCM, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FORD DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS TENDS BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT LINCOLN FORD ARE TRYING TO IGNORE. REAR END COLLISIONS COULD OCCUR WHEN THIS OCCURS. A SAFETY BULLETIN NEEDS TO BE RELEASED AND FORD NEEDS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. *TR

I NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK ON THE INTERIOR OF MY 2005 LS, SO I RAISED THE HOOD DIDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. I DID HOWEVER NOTICE THAT THEIR WAS OIL SPOTS IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE TOP HALF OF THE ENGINE RESEALED. TWO DAYS LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND AFTER LETTING IT WARM UP; I GOT IN AND THE SMELL WAS STILL THERE. I TOOK IT BACK AND AFTER 4 HOURS OF LABOR THE SNIFFER ALARM SOUNDED ON THE FUEL TANK. WHILE SEARCHING FOR A REPAIR THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE FORD RECALL NOTICE 05S29, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V113000. SO I WENT MY LINCOLN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS "NO RECALL NOTICE FOR A LEAKING FUEL TANK FOR THE LS." NOT SATISFIED I TOOK MY REPAIR DOCUMENTATIONS TO A FORD DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. NOTE: THIS IS WHERE I REALLY GOT TICKED OFF. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM I HAVE, BUT BECAUSE THE RESEARCH WAS IMPROPERLY PERFORMED I NEED TO PAY FORD $1600 TO REPLACE A TANK THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE FREE. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE RESEARCH IS FAULTY... *TR

I OWN A 2005 LINCOLN LS, AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE COILS AND PLUGS JUST RECENTLY, I HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING THAT SOME OF THESE CARS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IF THEY WERE MANUFACTURED AT CERTAIN PLANTS. I CALLED A DEALER AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THEM, YET I HAVE HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THEY DESCRIBED. MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULDN'T THEY ALL BE ALL BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL IF I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE ALREADY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THESE CARS SHOULD ALL BE MANUFACTURED WITH SAME PARTS AND HAVE THE WARRANTY, HERE I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE COILS AND PLUGS IN MY CAR. THE DEALER DID SAY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.
